Pelayo (portugiesisch: Pelágio; lateinisch: Pelagius; * um 685; † 737 in Cangas de Onís, Asturien) war der Gründer des Königreichs Asturien, des ersten christlichen Staates, der auf der Iberischen Halbinsel nach der muslimischen Eroberung entstand. Von dort aus begann die Zurückeroberung durch die Christen (Reconquista). Über die Herkunft Pelayos sowie die Vorgeschichte und den Verlauf seines Aufstands berichteten asturische Chroniken des 9. und 10. Jahrhunderts (Chronicon Albeldense, Redaktionen A und B der Chronik Alfons’ III.). Diese Quellen verherrlichten seine Taten, übertrieben sie und schmückten sie aus.Jan Prelog belegte 1980, dass diese Chroniken gefälscht waren.
